[MLS ROOKIE WATCH] Vancouver's Darren Mattocks and Toronto FC's Luis Silva are
making cases for 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year consideration. Mattocks showed a stunning display of athleticism on the second of his two goals against Toronto FC, while Silva has put his recent arrest
in Houston behind him with goals in back-to-back games.

Mattocks, who vowed to show why he should have been the No. 1 pick, not No. 2 pick, in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, was sidelined early
in the season after suffering severe burns in a kitchen fire.

Since his return, he has been on -- well -- fire. He scored both goals in Vancouver's 3-2 loss to Toronto to give him six
goals in 10 games -- the most goals by any rookie this season.

Mattocks showed a stunning display of athleticism on the second goal scored on the stroke of 90 minutes, leaping over TFC
defender Logan Emory to beat goalie Milos Kocic to Jordan Harvey's hopeful cross
and scored on a header.

Silva, one of three TFC players arrested recently outside a Houston nightclub, scored his first MLS goal in Toronto's 3-2 victory over Vancouver and had the lone goal in the 1-0 win over New
England Revolution.
